Kathy and Jason are a super fun couple, down to earth and funny. I knew it when I first walked into Jason’s parents home to meet the fam. I knew I had to spend more time with them.

So a few Sundays ago, we did just that! Kathy and Jason live and breathe baseball, and actually met through the sport. Their first date was to an Angel game and they now play on a competitive co-ed softball team together. So naturally, we met at a baseball field for the first portion of their engagement photos. (And how RAD of a location is that?! It was totally their idea and I’m going to STEAL it! All my baseball/softball loving clients and friends to come, let’s shoot on a field! So fun.)

Jason made Kathy laugh and giggle nonstop, and he stared more at her beautiful smile than at my camera. I was okay with it. These two are a pure delight and I cannot wait to document their wedding later this month. It’s people like them that make me absolutely love my job (and new locations!).

Over a decade ago, Cody and his friends sent his little sister across the street, to lure the ‘new girl’ outside. They all wanted another glimpse of the dazzling girl with sparkling blue eyes and hair that shimmered like gold in the sunlight.

A young love blossomed and Kaelyn and Cody became best friends and then partners, and last week as the autumn sun kissed her goldy locks again, they finally became husband and wife. Their gorgeous Mission Viejo Country Club wedding was fit for a fairy tale. What a joy it was to document the day, in all of its blush and sparkling beauty.

A gchat conversation I had yesterday. Thought it was worth sharing:

 

Robb D
Why on EARTH are people more naturally negative???
Like honestly, what the heck. And I KNOW I don’t dish that sh!t. That’s bullcrap. If I was like that to people….absolutely.
Jackie Lovato
ok first of all
u are so friggin awesome it makes my heart squeeze
Robb D
haha I mean like, I’m diving into communication theory books to find my answer.
Jackie Lovato
two,
people focus on the negative bc its easier. there’s SO MUCH SH!T in this world, it’s easy to complain and feel bad and wallow. it’s EASY. so naturally people take the easy road…
Robb D
Like, something about negativity just sticks with people…in the news…gossip…comments…
Jackie Lovato
it’s bc it’s easy
Robb D
sad.
Jackie Lovato
it is sad
but there is ZERO effort in it
u just sink
and soak in the sh!t
then 3, neg energy is CONTAGIOUS
just like positive energy is
Robb D
just like mmeeeeee now.
Jackie Lovato
but ppl let it stick to them
and then they wanna get it off/out too
so when they see someone SO EFFING AWESOME and rad (like yourself)
Robb D
: nod :
Jackie Lovato
they can’t help but try and put it down
so
Robb D
hahaha too funny.
Jackie Lovato
in conclusion, or 5
you and your purple socks and E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. about you is so wonderful and so beautiful
so keep shining
spread your rays of awesome
and hopefully more people will cling on and come out of the muck
and until they do, just ignore the neg
Robb D
how the FRICK are you this incredible.
Jackie Lovato
:: stepping off podium ::
: ] practice
Robb D
I don’t want to use you as a crutch or anything, but wow.
Even via chat. Dayum woman.
THANKS.
Jackie Lovato
its easier to be neg, remember. it can be hard work to be positive all the time. but it’s WORTH it.
ur welc!
spread your rays of awesome!
Robb D
mmmmmm
Jackie Lovato
and hey, in case there are any more struggles today…just remember, DONT DRINK THE (negative) WATER!!!!!!
Robb D
CAUSE THERES BLOOD IN THE WATER.
haahhaha
NIIIIIIIICE
but GAH I don’t like being this sensitive. I love being over things quick, not letting things bother me…etc.
Jackie Lovato
yea
i try to not be so sensitive either
but its uh…caused me to be a bit callous at times i’m realizing
which also is not so good
BALANCE
Robb D
haha! YES.
good call.
Alright….speaking of which.
TIME TO LIFT.
I think it’ll be a good lift today.
Jackie Lovato
#ROCK
sweat it out
enjoy

Robb D
RAWR

So I might’ve found my wedding dress…

Now don’t get too excited here, I’m not engaged or anything. There’s no wedding planning going on over here (other than the help I sometimes lend my clients :)). But c’mon. How GORGEOUS is that piece of cloth? I think I should buy one just so I have it on hand…you know…just in case a fairy tale begins in front of my eyes. I should have a dress [to frolic through a sinking sun drenched field] for the occasion. Right?

Just saying.
